Karl Haas spent his life teaching "music appreciation" on the radio. We heard him back in the sixties on American Forces Radio. He was a good explainer of things musical. If for no other reason, by it for your kids.

4.0 out of 5 stars Inside Music, by Karl Haas
Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2010
Verified Purchase
I was a loyal fan of Karl Haas and listened to his radio programs on NPR for many years. When I was preparing for a series of lectures myself, about music appreciation, I used this wonderful book as a guide. It is perfect for beginners who know little or nothing about the art of music, but only what they "like" or "don't like." Once you have started digging a little deeper and know what to listen for, your whole world changes for the better. And Karl helped me -- and countless others -- to do just that. He passed away a few years ago, and is truly missed. His music, and his writing, live on.

Brings back memories of my boyhood (about 8 or so) when Haas' wonderful program first introduced me to the endless treasuries of classical music. Excellent resource for basic music history and theory, musical instruments, etc.
